Question

An object is placed (i) asymmetrically
(ii) symmetrically, between two plane mirrors inclined
at an angle of 50°. Find the number of images formed.

Answer 1

Hi friend !

For two mirrors kept at an angle x, the number of images n is determined by the formula 360/x.

If n turns out to be odd,

We have the following two cases:

Asymmetrically

--------------------

Number of images=n

Symmetrically

------------------

Number of images=n-1

And if n turns out to be even,

Number of images= n-1 for all positions of object

Now, coming back to your question, 

Here x=50

n=360/x

  =360/50

  =7.2

Rounding off,n=7

Now,n is odd.

(1) Asymmetrically

number of images=n

                             =7

(2) Symmetrically

number of images= n-1

                            = 7-1

                            =6

I hope all your queries about this topic are solved.
